Actress Gabrielle Union has revealed she suffered from hair loss after filming new comedy film, ‘Top Five’ with Chris Rock last year.

From dark to blonde

Instead of wearing a wig, dark-haired Gabrielle dyed her hair blonde for the role, in which she plays a reality TV star engaged to Chris Rock’s character. She now claims that the bleach used to transform her into a blonde caused her to suffer extensive hair loss.

“I have dark hair, and the process to get it blonde made my hair fall out,” recalled Gabrielle, “some people gain weight for a role, I practically went bald for a role. I lost so much hair!”

During an interview Gabrielle said her husband, Miami Heat NBA star, Dwyane Wade, loved her blonde look – but he was less keen on her hair loss. He “loved the blond and thought I looked sexy”, she commented, “but once I went bald, he was like, ‘I’m ready for you to go back!’”

Gabrielle has now returned to her natural hair colour, and healthy hair growth has resumed. Although she has admitted on Twitter to using weaves, which can also cause hair loss in the form of Traction Alopecia.

Can bleach cause hair loss?

However, extensive colouring or bleaching can damage and weaken the hair to the extent that it snaps off – an effect Lady Gaga nicknamed the ‘chemical haircut’ after her experiences with over-bleaching. This type of shedding is basically a form of styling damage as it does not damage the hair follicle, so does not affect future hair growth.

Dr. Elena Koleva, dermatologist at The Belgravia Centre, confirmed that “there is a chance that too much colouring can cause weakening or breakage of the hair shaft, but not hair loss from the root, unless of course the bleach damages the skin so extensively it causes scarring alopecia, which is very uncommon.”

As Gabrielle experienced, once the cause of hair damage is removed – in this case bleach – the hair normally grows back.

What does cause hair loss in women?

Hair loss in women is often the result of medical issues or genetics, although external factors such as stress can play a part.
